A Year of Progress and Impact
CEO’s Message
By TXCPA President and CEO Jodi Ann Ray, CAE
As we close out our 2024-2025 membership year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the journey we’ve taken together over the past year. It has been a year of progress and meaningful impact - all made possible by the dedication of our leadership, volunteers, and, most importantly, you, our valued members.
- You welcomed 3,590 new members to our community as of April 18.
- You reached nearly 13,500 students with messages about careers in accounting as of April 18.
- You received new benefits from TXCPA Member Insurance and learning programs from the TXCPA Accounting Education Foundation.
- You are helping us move important legislation through the legislature that will expand the pathways to CPA licensure and protect practice mobility.
- Your TXCPA leadership has been developing and making recommendations to evolve our membership model and organizational structure.
You can learn more in this issue’s cover story, which highlights all the significant milestones we’ve achieved together. From advancing key initiatives to strengthening our community and expanding our reach, we have much to celebrate. These accomplishments are a testament to the power of collaboration and the unwavering commitment of those who step up to make a difference.
Looking ahead, we have even greater opportunities to build upon our success. I encourage you to get involved in the coming year - whether by joining a committee, attending events or sharing your insights with us. Your engagement is what fuels our progress and together, we can shape an even stronger future.
Another great opportunity to connect is our Annual Meeting of Members June 26-27 in Galveston, the site of a 1911 meeting of the Texas Society of Public Accountants. This gathering is an important time to reflect on our progress, discuss the path ahead and celebrate the collective achievements of our community. I hope to see you there and hear your thoughts on how we can continue to grow and evolve.
Thank you for being an integral part of TXCPA! Your support and participation are what make all of this possible.
